Hi everyone! There are different ways of asking some frequent questions in English? I wonder how would you personally (!) ask this question: "How many hours do you sleep at night?" Some people say "How many hours a night do you sleep?" I just want to here how you would word a question like this. Thank you! PS: I heard some people who start learning English say How many horses do you sleep? So, it can be tricky.

Both are fine, natural, and could be said that way by a native speaker. I personally (US native) would probably say "How many hours of sleep do you get?" I would not bother to say "at night" unless the context made it necessary. I think the reason I would say "get" is that sleep is something that people "need" and try to "get." I personally would _answer_ the question by saying "I average six or seven hours a night, but I often take an afternoon nap as well."
